TIF / TIFF support of import in Indesign CS5.5 / CS6

Hello

I can't find a reference for the limits of the type of TIFF file as Indesign CS5.5 / CS6 can support.

for example, Indesign cannot import a TIFF file with CCITT Group 4 compression / CCITT Group 3

I thought Indesign can support all kinds of TIFF and I was denied when I tried to import a TIFF file with compression CCITT 4 (black and white TIFF).

"Error occurred during reading of TIFF image. Image may be damaged or incompatible. Re-save the image with different settings, and then try again. »

Can anyone confirm this import TIFF CCITT Group 4 and CITT Group 3 compression is not supported (and Indesign can only import TIFF LZW, ZIP support or no compression) (Honours)?

It seems odd that Indesign adjustable CCITT Group 4 as a format of compression to monochrome images in the PDF export options export but does not support in its import options. Am I missing a plugin/update that can do this?

Also, can someone point me to a list of graphic images that Indesign can import (preferably with detailed information that he may have subsets that are not supported)?

I can only find " " http://help.Adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/CS/using/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6bdea.h tml ".

Thank you

Beyond the information provided by Steve Werner...

It is true that Photoshop cannot save an image on two levels (i.e. single bit monochrome) TIFF CCITT Group 4 compresses (or group 3-compresses).

However, Acrobat Pro can save PDF as CCITT Group 4 compressed TIFF Group 3

And I confirm that InDesign cannot place a CCITT Group 4 or group-3 compressed TIFF image.

Ironically, Photoshop can open TIFF CCITT Group 4 compressed files but when simply save even saves TIFF compressed into ZIP files.

So, the quickest way for the placement of your CCITT Group 4 TIFF files compressed in InDesign is to simply open and resave the TIFF files in Photoshop.

Yes, a hack villain, but it allows you to work around this limitation.

  • Mask with a transparent visor Photoshop CS6 giving rise to problems saved as Tiff RGB and placed in Indesign CS5

  • InDesign CS5 and CS6 scripts changes/incompatibilities

    I'm new to scripting InDesign and need to write a JavaScript very complex for InDesign using the Toolbox. My concerns are if CS5/5.5 users will be able to run the script written for CS6. He knows incompatibilities with different versions? If Yes, where can I find a document to compare the differences. I will probably need support the CS5 and CS6 (and anything in between), so a possible solution would be to build for CS5, but if I do, will I'm missing out on all the new key features of CS6?

    There are differences of 1 DOM version to another and they can and will break your script, if you have not designed to handle. For example:

    If you want to use script like me labels (because they are awesome) the following will break if you use CS5 or later:

    app.activeDocument.pageItems.item("myLabel").remove();
    

    So, you have to force the DOM to V6.0. But when you do so be sure to come back to the original version after you're done or you can create more problems. This can be done like this:

    app.scriptPreferences.version = 6.0; // CS4's DOM version
    app.activeDocument.pageItems.item("myLabel").remove();
    app.scriptPreferences.version = 10.2; // Current CC DOM version
    

    It is very annoying (for me at least), so I wrap functions that require DOM changes with a customized version changer to handle this for me. Regarding the list of incompatibilities? Not sure, maybe someone here has one, I know that jongware has a website with all the DOM password 1 version to another. This can be found here:

  • inDesign CS5 and CS6 inCopy workflow problem

    I looked further discussions and did not answer the question to our problem.

    We are a small publishing company and we have the license for about 7 inDesign CS5 best we bought a year ago.  We have contracts with external publishers to change content for us using inCopy.  Last year, there is no problem.  But any new Editor under contract we sign today, which in turn buys inCopy, we have problems with our talk with one of the other files.  All new editors under contract are able to purchase inCopy CS6.  This leaves us with the problem of having to inDesign CS5 on about 7 or so of our used machines and 6-8 CS 5.5 InCopy on outside contracted publishers and another 3-4 editors under contracts with inCopy CS6.  When publishers with inCopy CS6 try to open our InDesign CS5 files, either they will not open at all, or they will open, the editor working on the project for a while, their program crashes and they aren't able to recover (reopening) the files again.  Which translates into lost hours at work.

    Has anyone encountered this problem?  Is there a work around or a quick fix.  We hate having to upgrade to CS6 for all our copies in InDesign home and then ask our external publishers have inCopy cs5.5 upgrade to CS6.

    If this is the case, when CS7 comes out and we are hiring more outside editors, we must continually go through the process of upgrading again?  It is too expensive to use and our existing contract publishers.

    All thoughts are a help would be appreciated.

    It is one of the error messages from a Publisher under external contract using inCopy CS6.  The file crashed after several hours of work, when the Publisher went to reopen the case, they have received this error.  Which seems to be a generic error code that does not tell us anything.

    Hello Rufus,

    Unfortunately the different versions of InDesign and InCopy work well with each other. More recent versions of the program should be able to open to older files, but they can't save backward. I don't know what the cause of errors with newer versions of InCopy however.

    You are able to open the InCopy CS6 files on your computers?

  • Support of hindi in InDesign CS5

    Just downloaded the trial version of CS5. Still no support for Hindi / epithets (half consonants are simply represented with a character instead of a good half-consonant).

    Wikipedia says there are 442 million speakers of Hindi in India (more when you add other dialects using the Devnagari script as well as people use epithets out of the India). Apparently, a market Adobe is more than happy to ignore. Ugh.

    If anyone knows of a decent way to use epithets in CS5 (Photoshop being the other main) applications, please go in.

    I thought that you could not access the ready composer world except via a plug-in. Thanks for the suggestion - I will write these guys here and ask

    There are several different ways that a plugin is certainly easier than writing a script or by using a template. I use in-tools Tools of the world ; I do too much work RTL but expose these settings saved me so much time I tell myself that the plugin paid for itself four hours into my first job using it.

  • How better to import the QuarkXpress 8.0 files in InDesign CS5

    People,

    Searched the forum, but I only find info on old versions of Quark and InDesign.

    I have a ton of user final documents in QuarkXpress 8.0 I need to import in InDesign CS5.  (Here is the manuals installation and operation for data modems and telephony with many illustrations and diagrams in them).  I just downloaded the trial version of InDesign CS5 and could use some help.

    The procedure of import (for the old software) seemed to be quite heavy.  I hope that InDesign CS5 is more capable and efficient import of QuarkXpress files.  I also read on of Markzware Q2ID.  This product does work with InDesign CS5, or is it still necessary with InDesign CS5?

    All advice will be appreciated.  You need to start soon!

    Thanks for your help!

    Yes it works, Yes, it is necessary, don't... Is there any alternative reasonable without a Q8, 5, 6 and 7.

    FWIW, he's worth every dinner.

  • How can I change the options to import to an Excel spreadsheet in InDesign CS5.5?

    Hello

    I have a problem with a script InDesign that works this way in ID CS4 and CS5 ID, but stops working in ID CS5.5.

    What the script must do, is to change the preferences to import to a table saved in an Excel file so that I can place a table not formatted in a new textFrame in my InDesign document. The Excel document is a .xlsx file.

    function setExcelImportPrefs() {
        with (app.excelImportPreferences) {
             app.excelImportPreferences.tableFormatting = TableFormattingOptions.excelUnformattedTable;
            }
    }
    

    What the script (or at least seems to do) is: nothing. The table that is placed in the textFrame by the script is always formatted, as seems to be the standard InDesign CS5.5 preference to import tables from excel files.

    Does anyone have a hint for me how to make the script work in ID CS5.5?

    As it works on my machine (!), a reason may be that just the spelling should be: TableFormattingOptions.EXCEL_UNFORMATTED_TABLE

  • TIFF images that I used in trial version are now blurred in the full version of InDesign CS5.5

    I placed two images in tiff format (Visual poems, I did) in a file (a manuscript) using a trial version of InDesign CS5.5, and they seemed crisp and clear. Then I bought the full version of InDesign (the product of education as part of Adobe Creative Suite), has opened the file, and the images two tiff are completely blurry!

    When I open the TIFF in photoshop and consider "actual pixels", they are crisp and clear. The resolution is 300. For images, I tried making a lower resolution, and that did not help.

    Any ideas? Thank you.

    First of all, if you do not see 'reply' on the web page it means that you are not connected.

    Version should have nothing to do with it, and if you actually use the same file for the link, on the same scale, the preview should be the same, assuming the same display quality setting. If you straightened the picture, however, which can cause a difference of display.

    for continuous-tone images 300 DPI should be fine. the line drawings, it is low.

  • < a > tag is creating error importing XML in InDesign CS5.5

    Hi all

    I do InDesign CS2 to InDesign CS5.5 update.

    I have the indt file. It was designed by using the CS2 and now converted this file using InDesign CS5.5 CS5.5 indt.

    But I am facing a problem while making the export as pdf in version CS5.5.

    I'm following steps below:

    (1) indt open the file.

    2) menu file-> import XML... [This XML file contains < a href = "Web site link" > html tag]

    (3) [no change-defalut option selected] XML import options

    (4) ideally, it should merge XML data with the indt file but this is ask me for feedback and show me "search:" dialogue [below instant check]

    Error.IDCS5.5.JPG

    I did some research and know I get this dialog search because of the < a > tag XML. When I removed the < a > tag XML, then it gives no dialog and XML imported without any problems.

    I get this XML system and I can't manually delete the < a > tag of xml.

    However I was getting any error while making import XML in the CS2 version.

    Please can someone help with this?
